Frequently Asked Questions
USDA loans are government-backed loans that can help you buy a home in a suburban or rural area. USDA loans don’t require a down payment with a qualifying credit score. The home you want to buy must also be in an eligible rural area; you can check your potential home’s eligibility on the USDA website.
The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs backs VA loans. VA loans are only for veterans, current military personnel and qualifying surviving spouses. The approval process will require you to have a valid certificate of eligibility (COE) as proof that you qualify for the loan. Like USDA loans, VA loans don’t require any down payment when buying a home. However, both types of loans still require the homebuyer to pay closing costs.
Federal Housing Authority (FHA) Loans are mortgage loans that have a lower down payment and credit requirements, making them accessible to more people. Depending on where you live, you can get an FHA loan with as little as 3.5% down. The downside of an FHA loan is that you’re required to pay an upfront mortgage insurance premium equal to 1.75% of your total loan value, followed by monthly mortgage insurance payments. Depending on the size of your down payment, you may be paying monthly mortgage insurance for the life of your loan
